in effect

Sacramento City Code § 13.04.040 Private water lines.

13.04.040 Private water lines.

(Ord. 2001-033 § 1)

Sacramento City Code § 13.04.050 Relocation of service connection.

13.04.050 Relocation of service connection. A service connection may be relocated by the city at a customer's request provided the relocation, in the judgment of the director, is not detrimental to the city water distribution system. Such relocation shall include any modifications necessary to comply with then-current service connection standards or requirements, and the cost of the relocation shall be borne by the customer. The customer shall pay the estimated cost of the relocation, as determined by the director, prior to obtaining a water tap and constructing the water service. Where a service connection is relocated for the convenience or protection of the city, the relocation shall be at the expense of the city. (Ord. 2001-033 § 1)

Sacramento City Code § 13.04.060 Service connections generally.

13.04.060 Service connections generally. A. Unless otherwise provided in this chapter, each lot or parcel shall have a separate water service connection, except for fire service connections serving more than one lot or parcel that are authorized pursuant to the provisions of this chapter. All water service lines shall be equipped with an approved corporation stop/valve at the distribution main, and with a curb stop valve unless not required under specifications adopted by the department. Water service lines shall not cross another lot or parcel without first obtaining any and all rights-of-way, easements, or other approvals necessary to do so. B. To be eligible for water service, a parcel must abut a public easement or a city street or alley right-of-way in which a distribution main is located at a point immediately adjacent to the property, unless the director authorizes the extension of a distribution main. 1. If the parcel abuts both a public easement and a street or alley right-of-way in which distribution mains are located, the director shall specify which distribution main will be used for any new water service connection. 2. If the parcel abuts only a public easement in which a distribution main is located, and the distribution main is scheduled in the department's capital improvement program to be abandoned when a new distribution main is constructed in a street or alley right-of-way adjacent to the parcel, the director may require, as a condition of allowing a new water service connection to the existing distribution main, that the parcel's private water lines be configured to allow the parcel to be connected to the new distribution main after it is constructed. C. The director may authorize water service for land locked parcels provided that the customer obtains recorded private easements from the affected owner(s) and all other applicable legal requirements are fulfilled. Private easements must abut a distribution main in a dedicated public easement or city right-of-way. Water service lines constructed in private easements are private water lines, and the city shall have no responsibility for the maintenance and repair of such lines. D. The director may authorize water service for a parcel that is not adjacent to a distribution main and is not land locked, on such terms and conditions as may be specified by the director, if the director determines based on written findings that it is not feasible to extend a distribution main due to the unique physical characteristics of the parcel which are so unusual that complying with the requirements of this section would create an exceptional hardship to the parcel owner or the surrounding parcel owners. E. Except as provided herein, the director shall determine the maximum sizes of service connections. For single-family domestic service connections, the maximum size shall be one inch, or one and one-half inches if residential fire sprinkler systems are present, unless otherwise authorized by the director. F. All water service connections are subject to the city's tap, meter, development, abandonment, and other applicable fees established by city council resolution, and to the department's cross-connection control standards.

Compliance with the foregoing requirements is a condition of the customer receiving or continuing to receive city water service, and the department may shut off water service at the distribution main if the customer refuses to allow access as required in this section. If the customer refuses to allow such access, the city may seek authorization for access from any court of competent jurisdiction. (Ord. 2013-0014 § 3; Ord. 2005-090 § 3)

Except for separate irrigation service connections and fire service connections, each lot or parcel shall have only one service connection; provided that requests for multiple service connections (excluding separate irrigation service and fire service connections) may be approved on a case-by-case basis by the director. A. Backup service connections are considered to be temporary and shall be subject to termination by city at a future date specified by the director. B. If permanent multiple service connections require a public water main extension, the main extension shall be installed to the satisfaction of the director at the customer's expense. C. Where multiple service connections already exist, and a lot split, lot merger, or a change of business or operations occurs, the excess service connection shall be removed at the customer's expense, if required by the director.
